When Love Reaches...(One Direction Fanfiction)

Painting with Risks

---Harry's P.O.V.---

I walked in with Niall and Bella. Bella was my suprise to them, since it was very unexpected. She needed to grab something to eat, so I took her out this morning before Zayn got up. 

"Hi!" Fiona cheered, looking right at me. I smiled, feeling chills invade my back. I wanted her so bad. 

"Uhm, Fiona, this is Bella, and old friend of mine!" I greeted, leading Bella forward. Fiona shook her hand and introduced herself. Kendall was walking over to Niall, who obviously looked excited to see her. 

Niall and Kendall hugged tightly. They looked so nice together. 

"Hi, I'm Kendall," Kendall said, giving a small handshake and a small smile. Bella looked around, taking in the whole store.

"So what colors are you guys thinking?" Bella perked up, looking at the different colored strips. 

"Something bright, and probably three to four colors since some walls are in our rooms," Fiona explained, biting her lip to compare two blues. Zayn was quiet, looking at different trims. I walked over to him as the girls and Niall chatted about walls.

Zayn looked up and questioned, "Yes?"

"What's wrong, mate?" I asked, trying to see his emotions...although he wasn't great at being out in the open with his feelings.

"Fiona just...dumped me," He put together, his eyebrows coming together. 

"Oh. Sorry, you know I wish it worked out, she liked you. I mean, if she broke up with you, it's obviously not meant to be!" I tried to make him feel better. 

Zayn nodded and questioned, "Is that Bella, I think?" 

I chuckled and replied, "Yeah, she's really sweet with the girlsr, you should go say hi."

Zayn ruffled his hair and walked over, making sure his pants were pulled up.

I saw them chat and greet, and suprisingly...hug. Not one of those silly quick hugs, a real hug. I felt slightly defensive as he just moved onto my friend like it was no big deal. He was just with Fiona, now he just...moves on?

I rolled my eyes and moved towards the group. 

"Harry, yellow or pink?" Fiona asked, holding the two strips in the air, comparing. 

I tilted my head a little and decided, "Pink, it's more...you."

She turned a little pink herself and put down the yellow. Kendall showed Niall a few strips, laughing at something he said. 

I stepped a little closer to Fiona, just wanting to pick her up and watch her neutral face turn into a beautiful smile. Sadly, I was too nervous for anything...I didn't even know if she liked me that way anymore.

---Fiona's P.O.V.---

We were checking out when Harry spotted a decoration for any room. It was a bird cage, painted a mint green with vintage doors as if the birds were to open them. He held it up for me to see and raised his eyebrows. I thought about money and I pointed to my wallet. Harry made a sad face.

I turned around to give the man my credit card. He scanned it and asked for my ID and signature. 

We finished paying and forgot where Harry was. We put all the paint buckets, tape, and brushes into the cart and wheeled out. 

"Wait!" We heard behind us. Harry was coming with a bag in his hand.

"Harry, where were you?" Niall asked, looking at the bag.
